But according to the hospital’s principal administrator Fredson Kambeni, the patient was admitted to the hospital in the early hours of Monday while bleeding profusely.

He said the private parts of the patient had been removed; hence the heavy bleeding.

Of late, such cases have been common in Zomba where a security guard at Chancellor College had also his private parts severed a month ago and the culprits have not yet been apprehended.

Juma was reportedly coming from Matawale Bus Stage to his home when he met his fate.
